The Thing From Another World - as a standalone film is good, though the Hawksian dialogue doesn't quite work for me in the film. As a book adaptation, one of the worst ever
The Thing (1982) - my all time favourite film
The Thing (2011) - continuity, the nature of the creature and what we already knew about the Norwegian base shackled the film preventing it from coming across as wholly original (giving us those oh so clever people that insist on calling it a remake). I actually really like the film...a decent enough job done considering the restrictions it had upon it.
